the blues have been doing good ever since they fired payne and hired hitchcock. they had a tough loss tonight but we're getting perron back against the blackhawks tomorrow, hopefully he'll have a good game and the boys will get a win

The Ducks just won two in a row for the first time since like October. It's one of THOSE seasons. Of course I think Boudreau's coaching is finally sinking in for them. Carlyle's coaching is still somewhat noticeable, but they're slowly turning from a defense first team, to an offense first team. Which is much more suitable for the team. All of their super stars are forwards.

Sam Gagner's 8 point night deserves a wee mention. It's a pretty frecking unreal accomplishment, especially for a guy like Gagner. And even more unreal is the fact that he did it only two periods, and then scored 3 more points in the first period of the next game. *jawdrop* 11 points in three straight periods has to be close to a record, same for recording a point on 11 consecutive goals.I hope this a sign of things to come for Gagner and the Oilers- I have had a soft spot for them both for years.

Yeah that was nuts to hear about. I don't think he's going to be a real legit star forward in the future? Not really.

The Ducks have had a good run since my last post in here. But I think they might cool down soon. The All-Star break came at the worst possible time for them. Although I think they're playing themselves out of the high draft picks, it's okay, I'd rather watch them go down in a blaze of glory, f*cking with the top 8, than watch them spiral out of control into a first or second overall pick.

Anyone see that 5 on 1 the Winnipeg Jets had last night against the Florida Panthers? I've seen plenty of 3 on 1's, and a few 4 on 1's, but that's the first time I've ever seen a 5 on 1.

It's so nice to see the Jets doing so well, and the fans absolutely love them. They went from playing in a half full arena last year in Atlanta to playing every night for a sold out crowd, and its really helped motivate them. If I recall correctly, TSN (Canada's ESPN) did a survey a while back of NHL players and found that they now say the MTS Centre (Jets Arena) is loudest arena in the NHL. Assuming the Jets make the playoffs, I can only imagine what Winnipeg is going to be like.

I loved the look on Steve Tambellini's face when it was announced Edmonton won the first overall pick. You could definitely tell he didn't expect to get the first overall pick for a third straight year. Once the Oilers mature in a few years, they're gonna be a fell of a team.

I'm so excited for tonight and the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. My prediction is a Pittsburgh vs Vancouver Stanley Cup Final. Canucks all the way!

Doesn't look good for Canucks vs Penguins in the finals, does it? It's okay, I was predicting Red Wings and Penguins.

All of the teams I want to win, are losing now. They all mostly started strong, but now they're not so good looking. Except for Phoenix, they're in good shape, as well as the Flyers still look good to win, although not so much yesterday.

Wow, good game in Boston going on right now. The Bruins just came back from 2 goals down in the 2nd.

I'm in awe of the LA Kings right now. They made history today by being the first ever 8th seeded team to knock off the 1st and 2nd seeded teams. While I'm not really going for the Kings, would love to see them make history by winning the cup as an 8th seed.

Hoping Philly can get their act together and even their series tonight.

Really psyched about the Kings making it to the west finals. I really want them to win the finals this year. I like their chances against the Flyers if the Flyers make it there because Bryzgalov could crumble at any moment.

the blues series against the Kings was just terrible, and having Halak out definitely didn't help. The blues just played like sh*t ever since the first period of the first game, and the Kings didn't miss a beat. Congrats to them but damn that sucked after such a great season. There is nothing worse than a sweep.

I so want the Kings to win. Any LA team other than the Lakers for once winning a championship would be great especially if it was the Kings. I hope it is either Kings in 4 or 6 cause I'd like to see a team win on their home rink for once.
